     used in our schools’ because teachers find it more suitable for introducing 
     
     English to young pupils.” (L’'Impartial, 27 February 1902, p. 2.) Joseph-Octave 
     
     Arsenault is also given credit for having the series adopted. (Le Moniteur Acadien, 
     
     6 August 1886, p. 2.) J.-Henri Blanchard is thus mistaken when he states that 
     
     the series was introduced in 1891. (Blanchard, Histoire des Acadiens de V'fle-du-
